Please log in for more thread options LOL Same people who turned down the new phone system 2 months ago if you guys remember. Well, anyhow the MESS they got is unreal....I may take pics today and post them....they got 5 Cat 5e lines taped with duct tape from building to building, they have 4 other Cat 5e lines taped with electrical tape for about 100 feet (cheap man outdoor cable I guess? LOL) buried variously through the length of 100 feet. Then they got there electrical service drop wrapped around a tree drooping down to about 5 feet off the ground. LOL They me the dummy goes in there to repace a fax line with a new outside cable drop I punch down on the block and its so old the $*@$*&@$*@$* block disintegrates due to dry rot. LOL The line was still working though and I left it at that, cause they too cheap to fix right which I told them they need a new 66 block. No good they say. So, now I have to go back out there....Im getting tired of it! LOL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Man, that's not cheap man's that's an idiot's OSP 'cause the tape is not all that cheap at all compared to the PE jacket of your regular OSP cable. I can't even think about the time they wasted on wrapping it, too! I would have to say this is rather unusual, so don't let this single job make you think about changing a career ;-) -- Best Regards, Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com/ Home Cabling Guide, Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros -- ##-----------------------------------------------## Article posted with Cabling-Design.com Newsgroup Archive http://www.cabling-design.com/forums no-spam Web and RSS interface to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.cabling - 2625 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Even if you splice gel filled cable and don't seal it in a splicing case, water is going to migrate in the cable. It may take a few years, but the pairs will eventually go bad. And let me guess...they used white nylon ties to hold it all up. Those fail after just one summer, at least in the hot Texas sun. The black UV ones will eventually fail too after several years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
